On arrival we were greeted and given a warm welcome. Please note €200 euros will need to be paid on a credit card or in cash. (Not debit card). We walked to the nearest supermarket (eroski) and got a taxi back which cost us about £9 with all food shopping for the week. It worked out a lot cheaper doing this. There is a beautiful little restaurant across the road called VistaSol which we visited a few times. Only eating there on the last night and we wish we did it sooner as the food was beautiful- service was fantastic too. Wish I had known a bit more about possible excursions in the area like boat tours. Would have been nice to see a bit more information advertised about this. We visited the market of Santanyí which is held every Wednesday and Saturday 10:00 - - 14:00. Highly recommend! Fantastic place to visit for food, drink, culture, music and home made gifts. We got the majority of our gifts this day as everything was so beautiful. Only issue was leaving the market. There is one area only known as the “taxi rank” waiting area. We Joined the back of the queue and waited for at least 1 hour 20 mins. It appears they have only a few taxis operating. If you can book a private excursion then I’d recommend this - it is honestly worth it though. Try the fresh olives when you are there from the main olive store! Beautiful. The pool life guards at the hotel were friendly especially the gentleman with the longer hair. He helped my mum getting out the pool which he didn’t need to. Always had a smile on his face : D Pros - it was quiet (maybe too quiet) Pool area was cleaned every day. It closed at 7pm They had no issue with us drinking our own drinks or snacks by the sun beds Plenty of sun beds to choose from Air con worked brilliantly in our room. Facilities were adequate for our stay Bed and pillows were very comfy. Cons- no bar open. No food available at the hotel. No oven in our room - just microwave and stove. Beds and towels were only changed once in our stay. No live music or entertainment Hotel has NO lift If you do smoke you will be asked to smoke outside the grounds when sunbathing. Handy tips - there is a spa shop located 2 min walk away from the hotel There is an ATM cash machine located right outside the hotel Highly recommend a travel card like Monzo if you are travelling abroad as it doesn’t charge fees when paying on your card There is a handful of restaurants on the beach front. If you want a front seat facing the beach they are often taken or reserved. Top tip - book one week in advance in busy summer periods to guarantee sea view table. If you smoke there is a cigarette machine inside the restaurant c’an Bernat. For the beach it was €18 euros for the sun beds all day. Think we paid about the same for the hire of a pedalo too which you have one hour to use it. Treated ourself to a thai massage (only 20 min walk) however do your research before as they are not as relaxing as we thought! Haha…. Be mindful if yo
